Youth Lock In

The youth will be having a lock-in here at the church on Friday, August 18th! What’s a lock-in, some of you may be asking? It’s an overnight event at the church- we are “locked in” for the night; we play games, watch movies, play more games, eat LOTS of junk food/sugary deliciousness… ALL NIGHT LONG. This event will begin at 9pm at the church, and will end at 8am with breakfast. We’ll meet at the church at 9pm. If bingo…

Coffee and Conversation – Sunday, August 13

Grab a steaming copy of coffee and a snack between services and join us for Coffee and Conversation in the Small Kitchen (lower level of the church in the Admin wing) from 10:15am-10:45am. The Bible is, in many ways, like a puzzle. It is made up of many pieces, with varying colors, shapes, and textures. The pieces are individually important and beautiful, but it isn’t until you put them together that you get the full picture. During our August 13th…
